Can someone please help me understand the severity of my cervical mri. Am I looking at surgery. nerve pain bi lateral through shoulder, arms and into middle and ring fingers. back and neck pain.

straighting of the acervical curvature. degenerative disc narrowing is prsent including c-5 c-6 and c6- c7. Small prevertebral osteophytes are present . c3 -c4 mild diffuse disc bulging uncinate process spurring. moderate right neural foraminal stenosis. c4-c5 mild diffuse disc bulging mild facet degeneration and uncinate process spurring mild righ neural foraminal stenosis c5-c6 mild diffuse disc bulging larger in the left paracertral region. mild central canal stenosis with mild moderate spinal cord deformity, greater on left. Uncinate process spurring. Marked left neural foraminal stenosis.

c6-c7 mild diffuse disc bulging. mild spinal cord deformity but relative patencyor central canal.
this may be associated with hypertrophy or early ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament.

Thank you for any help.
